>>17029702I love coming up with names for this kind of shit:
Hail Speed Boosting Abil >Snow Shoes
Hail Ice-STAB Boost Abil >Frost Heave
Hail needs to buff Ice-types SpDef like Sandstorm does for Rock-types. And I think the Freezing buff/defrost nerf would be great, but Freeze toes the line of being overpowered if it becomes too available. Though I agree it needs to be more common, so long as it has more counters.
Ice-types already resist being Frozen, which is good enough. They don't need any other "buffs" like Grass or Ghost got this gen. But they SHOULD resist more types, esp. when Fire has so many resistances now. I still contend that the most useful resists for Ice-type would be Water or Grass, though losing the Fighting weakness would help too.
